The problem with this product is the smell. Had it on my bed, and at end of day, the smell in bedroom was awful. What can be done?

I have a lot of experience with different types of plastics and found the only way to get rid of the smell is to air it out. Depending on the type of chemicals used in making it, how much air circulation you have around it, and how sensitive your nose is, it can take a few days to a couple of weeks. There's no way to know. It's the chemicals that make it pliable (soft) that cause this problem. Some people are more sensitive to these types of smells which would make it appear as if there's more of an odor for some than for others. Also, heat may make it worse. Cool dry air, circulating around it, is best. Be careful where you leave it. Make sure it's not an enclosed area - there must be a window open for air circulation until the smell dissipates. And if you have allergies you'll want to keep it in a room you don't go in often.

That's funny. I've had it on my dining room table for months, and it never smelled. I did hang it in the sun for a few hours to get the wrinkles out, which didn't work. Maybe that's why mine doesn't smell. I also have a very sensitive nose.

Have to say the smell of mine is minimal to non-existent. Maybe give it a light rinse in the bathtub and hang it out to dry in the shade for a day?

Sad to say, I still detect that rubbery smell and I've wondered myself if it will completely leave. I'm not real convinced it will. I've put mine in a light flannel pillowcase and most of the time I'm not aware of the smell now. Makes you worry about fumes, though doesn't it?

I say send it back and request an exchange. Mine just had a new smell and was ok to use immediately.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

have been using this product for about 6 months and have never noticed a smell of any kind. I would return the one you have and sure they will replace it for free

My chair didn't have an odor after unpacking it. Maybe use an air purifier next to it for a few days. I had to do that with my foam pad for my bed. That really had a bad smell. Hope this helps.....You could probably air it outside for 24 hours too.

Think the instructions say something about cleaning it but if not I'd mix a little bleach and water swish it around should help with the smell

I didn't have any foul odor. I think you need to contact to the seller and exchange for another one. If you cannot return or exchange, then try to dry clean

I am maybe more sensitive to chemicals than most people, and unfortunately, I would say after letting it air for 2 days, that there is still a very unpleasant smell. I put a mattress cover on top of it, but I still notice a very unpleasant smell. I don't notice it until I am in bed, where it's very close to my face.

There was a slight smell for a day or two and then it completely went away. We have been very happy with our bed!

It didn't seem to have any offensive odor, just the usual "new smell" you get when you first buy/open bedding. It was gone quickly and I am very sensitive so I would have noticed . Hope if you buy one it will be the same .

I have been using this product for months, and it always has the same strange odor. I have not had any problems with the product.

Just a slight smell I let it air out for about a day -- to come to full thickness before I made it up -- we have had the 3 beds for over 3 years and no problems

throw it in the dryer with a dryer sheet and it will help with the odor. Doesn't last too long unless you have a sensitive nose.
